<poem>So-and-so's in Tahoe with a hottie by the fire
<poem>[...] dance, don't ask me
Such-and-such in Cabo, Salsa-dancing on a wire
I'm just spitting, gritting teeth, and being crucified
Trying to tell myself the pins and needles is a vibe
 
Hey, doctor, doctor, give it to me
I got a bad case of not loving me


I don't know where my heart's at
Don't know where my head's at
Don't know where my feet's at
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
but I can't dance, don't ask me
But I can't dance; don't ask me
I, I always wish I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance; don't ask me


I can't dance, don't ask me
I don't got the juevos to approach the door and knock
No one cares, but I still feel like I'm a laughing stock
I keep running 'round and 'round the same old city block
While everybody else inside is waiting for the drop
 
Hey, doctor, doctor, give it to me
I got a bad case of not loving me
 
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance; don't ask me
I, I always wish I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance; don't ask me
I don't know where my heart at
Don't know where my head at
Don't know where my feet at
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance; don't ask me
 
Hey, it's getting kind of cold out here
I'm all alone (Knock, knock!)
Don't let me come inside your place
It's getting kind of cold out here
I'm all alone (Knock, knock!)
I don't want to go inside your place
Give it to me
I've got a bad, bad case of not loving me
 
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance; don't ask me
I, I always wish I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance; don't ask me
I don't know where my heart at
Don't know where my head at
Don't know where my feet at
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance; don't ask me


I can't dance
